Our Communist History Tour - is a tip based walking tour of Budapest, it is perfect for those which want a short stroll though the city in the evening rather than a long hike.

You will learn about the unique form of Goulash communism, and see the locations of major street fighting in the 1956 uprising. Understand how Communism divided Hungarian society and how it impacted upon every fabric of that society.
